Trio Maravilhoso Regina

According to the professor Nóris, as you know, Alejandro, Bianca and I are the "Trio Regina"! So, today, I will talk about us! ;)
First of all, I looked for the famous "Trio Regina" and I found out that its real name was "Trio Maravilhoso Regina" and it was on TV in 1956. As Nóris said, it was composed of perfume, talcum powder and toilet soap and its trade name was Regina. I read in a site that it is one of the classic greaters of the past and that Antonio Maria composed its single:
"Eu sou a água de cheiro Regina
Eu sou o talco Regina
Eu sou o sabonete Regina
Nós três, o Trio Maravilhoso Regina
Quer no calor e no frio
Com o tempo bom ou chuvoso
Somos o Trio Regina."
So, since we are "Trio Regina" we didn't forget of classify each one of us according to the products: I'm the perfume, Bianca is the talcum powder and Alejandro is the toilet soap, we had a reason to do this classification, but this is a secret! :D~ hehehe
Well, now talking about us and forgetting about "Trio Regina"...
First semester of 2008 Bianca added me on Orkut before the registration day of UFPEL. On the registration day I was lost in the hall of FAEM when Bianca asked me: "Are you Nairana?" and I said: "Yes!!!" so we stayed together on that day and we combined of going together on the first day of class. On this day we didn't have one class so some colleagues went together to the gas station, the famous gas station., and there we started talking, so that on the second day we sat near to each other. From this day on we started to be more friends and started to be closer to each other. Since first semester of 2008 until now we did a lot of things together and I even was distant of them for a time, but then everything was decided!
Trio Regina goes and comes back because we love each other and we respect the defects of each other.
So, Alezito and Bibi, this is for you to know that my days in the college are better with you, thank you so much for support me and accept me how I am!
Thank you for all laughs you made me give and for the hugs you gave me when I needed, you're great! \o/
Parties, classes, works in my house, chimarrão, CELSUL, gas station, trots and the last one: the caipira party for our novices! Everything we made and we make together was/is very good! Even a poor hotel's bedroom becomes good with you! =D
So, talcum powder and toilet soap, here goes some pictures for you to remember the best moments we had together! Thank you for everything!

Constructive criticism

Hi you all! Today my post is quite different from the others. Today I decided to make a constructive coment/criticism about Rafael's avaliation.
Professor, don't be upset with me. I would not talk about this if I thought that you would not accept my coment as a good thing.
I think that about the writing test there wasn't big problems even because we already knew your type of tests, altought I think the first question will bring problems, but we talk about that later.
The points are: the listening test, the speaking test and the organization of time!
First, as Rafael knows, I didn't like the listening test because I think that we usually listen to audios clearer and easier than the one that we listened for the test. Of course I know that tests tend to be more difficult than classes, but I think if Rafael is working with us using a certain level of audios to practice our listening, he can't take a leap on the test's days and ask us to understand something strongly different of what we are accustomed. Other problem that I (and other colleagues) had in the speaking test was the street noises, I suggest to Rafael that our next listening test be in LAAC (at University building at Avenue), so we won't have problems at listen to the audio.
About the speaking and the organization of time, I want to say that in my opinion the time was poorly organized. I say this because on Monday Rafael said that should go class Wednesday just the ones who had doubts about the writing test and the ones who combined with him to talk about the speaking test. I went to class with doubts about the writing test and I left the class with the same doubts! I saw that Rafael had no time for that and for this reason I think that the time was poorly organized. Maybe Rafael thought that the time he planned was suficient to what he proposed, but in fact it wasn't. I think isn't fair that some colleagues could spent 1 hour talking with Rafael about the speaking test and Juliana and I could have just 10 minutes with the professor. I think the best Rafael could have done was use the Wednesday to take off our doubts about the writing test and postpone the speaking test to next Wednesday so that he could use the Monday to take off the latest doubts about the speaking test. I know that I'm going to disappoint you Rafael with my speaking test, not for my speaking in itself, but for the understanding of reading (and it's not your fault neither mine, its just because I don't have the knowledge enough to understand that).
Well, that's it! I hope Rafael understands that I'm just pointing some things that I think wasn't so good in his avaliations, and may have impaired our perfomance in the tests.
Now I want to know your opinion guys, so that I can realize if I'm right in what I said or if I am the problem!
Hugs! And don't forget to comment about my mistakes!
